We were a little side tracked today, oh well… it is a race car

Ed, Les, and Steve dropped the engine into the roadster

Some of the team decided to install Ed’s engine into the roadster. At one time, Ed held the E/SR record in this car. Never a dull moment in the Eagle hangar.

A number of tasks kept the team busy today. Lars spent time working on the hydraulics in the trailer. We have been working this problem for a long time now. We are to the point of filling it up with tannerite and heading out to the range! The two Steves (Rima and Wallace) were working on the electronic steering. Another week of tests still to do. Les worked on the butterfly valve in the start cart. Von and Keith were pretty much working on IT and website stuff.

About

The North American Eagle project began as nothing more than an idea. That idea was to take a jet fighter, and turn it into the fastest racing machine in history. Together, Ed Shadle and Keith Zanghi founded a project with a goal to go supersonic, and break the World Land Speed Record of 763 MPH. Along the way, countless people have joined together to push the boundaries of speed, to see just how fast this car can go.
